Income Tax Ordinance Amendment (Credit Points for Parents of Soldiers) Bill
Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק לתיקון פקודת מס הכנסה (נקודות זיכוי להורי חיילים)
TL;DRA bill to add an income tax credit point for every parent whose child is serving in regular military service.
Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill amends section 40 of the Income Tax Ordinance so that parents whose child is serving in the army in regular service will receive a credit point for each child. If the parents live separately, only one of them will receive the point – the one who supports the child. If the support is divided between the parents, each will receive part of the credit point according to their share of the child-rearing expenses. The bill aims to ease the burden on parents during the period their child is serving in the army, since the service salary is low and they need financial support.
